Hi Markus,
Thanks for the reply, and yes, I should have looked more closely -- it was
some ISO8859 font.
Reviewing what I did, and looking at man pages for xset and mkfontdir, I
figured out that mkfontdir failed, due to obscure system configuration
problems I won't go into. By running the correct version of mkfontdir,
everything worked, and I got a good look at this font.

* This is very odd. On both Linux and Solaris, I can press the Next Page

* Are you sure that you have selected the right font, i.e. does the line above
* the "Next Page" button in the xfd window really say
*
* -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-140-72-72-C-70-ISO10646-1
*
* Otherwise, you have probably displayed some other default font that has
* only ISO 8859-1.
